Broccoli En Wortels Lyrics in English Tom Helsen

Broccoli en Wortels is Tom Helsen’s playful pep-talk for anyone who keeps promising to live healthier “tomorrow.” With cheeky humor, he lists the dangers of a junk-food lifestyle—beer bellies at forty, heart attacks in the classroom, endless moaning that the good old days are gone—and then flips the script: swap fries and sofa nights for jogging shoes, broccoli, carrots, sprouts, and zucchini, and you can still be racing a go-kart along the Belgian coast at eighty.

The song celebrates small, realistic changes that snowball into big wins. As the singer trades pizza for vegetables, his energy skyrockets, his mirror becomes a friend, and even his kids cheer him on. The catchy refrain “Ik laat ze zien hoe het moet” (“I’ll show them how it’s done”) turns the track into a feel-good anthem that invites listeners to join the ride toward a brighter, fitter future—one crunchy carrot at a time.
